Material traces refer to both the moving image products and the assortment of documentation about the processes of television as industrial and creative endeavors. By identifying the development of television-specific archives and collecting areas in the 1950s to the 1970s, the dissertation contributes to television studies, specifically pointing out how television materials were conceived as cultural and historical materials “worthy” of preservation and academic study.

This enabled us to celebrate not only the 50th anniversary of the Shakespeare Festival (1950-1999) but also the 50th anniversary of the first use of the Globe replica (1951-2000). John Cranford Adams originally conceived the Globe Playhouse in the 1940s, and a model was subsequently built with the assistance of Irwin Smith. In fact, the Globe model was exhibited on campus in 1950 and was the reason and occasion for the first Shakespeare Festival.

    This is a working paper. Published version: Stefanie Rauch. ‘Understanding the Holocaust through Film: Audience Reception between Preconceptions and Media Effects’, History and Memory 30, no. 1 (2018): 151-88. http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2979/histmemo.30.1.06. Understanding the Holocaust through Film: Audience Reception between Preconceptions and Media Effects Stefanie Rauch, UCL Empirically, little is known about the individual reception of films about the Holocaust. This has rarely prevented intense speculation about the impact of films on Holocaust knowledge, memory, and consciousness. This article presents key findings from a qualitative study with viewers of recent films. It argues that researching actual audiences rather than mere textual analysis is required to understand the complexities of the reception process, and the relationship between history, film, and memory. It demonstrates that while the impact of feature films about the Holocaust on viewers has been overstated and the role of preconceptions underestimated, the film “text” nonetheless matters for individual film reception. Keywords: Holocaust; media reception; Britain; qualitative research; education The research on the representation of the Holocaust in films and documentaries by now constitutes one of the most productive areas of research within the field of Holocaust Studies. Scholars frequently comment on the potential impact of films about the Holocaust on memory, historical knowledge, and historical consciousness.1 The often purely text-derived analyses of film
